The ASSE reserve team started their season in National 3 with a convincing 4-1 win over Cosne, after a successful preparation marked by a draw against Blois and successes against Andrézieux and Auxerre. Under the watchful eye of the professional staff, including Loïc Perrin, the young Greens quickly took the ascendant, with a goal from Othman from the 2nd minute. Despite a penalty granted, they maintained their domination, with frank occasions from Depaule, Stojkovic and Othman. The second period was marked by a goal by Makhloufi and a triple of the latter, sealing the ASSE victory and demonstrating their collective superiority and cohesion. The presence of professional players in the stands underscores the importance of this team and their potential for the coming season.
At the same time, the future of Sadibou Sané, a defender of FC Metz, arouses a keen interest from several Ligue 1 clubs, including AS Saint-Étienne. The young player, estimated at 10 million euros, is one of the most popular market values at the moment. However, this agitation around her departure seems to impact her performance on the ground. After a mixed first day, he had a difficult evening against Strasbourg, with mistakes and unusual febrileness. The situation could lead to a departure from Metz, paving the way for a possible arrival from Sané to Saint-Étienne, who is looking for a young and promising defensive reinforcement.
Finally, ASSE’s professional team won a 1-0 match against Boulogne with a goal from Davitashvili. After a first half lacking in intensity, the Greens advanced in the second period, taking control of the ball and multiplying opportunities. This victory confirms their excellent start to the season, with three points achieved in three days. The evolution of the game from initial prudence to collective domination is particularly encouraging for the future. The team is currently at the top of the standings, tied to Nancy and Troyes, but with a better goal difference.
